      Fine, if you really insist on me spelling it out:

      Biden reporting himself that Bibi said that we did it too is neither Biden’s condoning nor is it Bibi’s admission to him that he would carpet bomb with the weapons allocated.

      Biden directly sent the bombs he knew were going to be used to bomb those hospitals to Israel

      UNSUBSTANTIATED. There is no mention whatsoever in the provided source that Biden “Knew” Israel was going to bomb “hospitals” with the very bombs he provided.

      and then lied that those bombs were not being used to bomb hospitals.

      UNSUBSTANTIATED. There is no evidence within this source that Biden “lied” — Read: intended to deceive or mislead.

      Perhaps Biden thought he had more leverage; perhaps he wrongly trusted Bibi’s word. Moreover it does not change the aforementioned counterpoints raised that continue to go conveniently ignored that the situation was far more nuanced in reality (after all, it is also true that Israeli civilians were obviously under threat as well, and disarming Israel would jeopardize their safety in kind —either by legitimate risk, or by obvious false flag utilized by Bibi to garner more geopolitical support against Democrats).

      Either way, the ironic part is that this source proves that the Biden administration expressed more concern over civilian life than the Trump administration ever did.

      Also as I had mentioned and something you also conveniently ignored: Gaza is not the only global or domestic crisis. To not engage in any sort of logically ethical consideration pertaining to LGBTQ+ rights, climate change, Taiwan sovereignty, Ukrainian sovereignty (and their own genocide being perpetrated by Russia) is flatly irresponsible if not morally reprehensible. Funny that no uncommitted couch-sitter ever raises concerns over these things for which the Democratic candidates were obviously better on.
